Link Vault - A Tool for Link Building

As 3-way, 4-way and more-way linking has grown popular, particularly with the advent and overwhelming popularity of Shawn's Digitalpoint Co-Op Advertising Tool, other systems have popped up to attempt to create similiar forms of link sharing/trading.

At SES NYC, Alan Webb - Webby from SEOChat - informed me of a new, free link network system that he had helped to develop. The tool, Link-Vault, allows you to submit links for the network to include and serve links on your own sites, similiar to the Co-op network. The best part about the site is explained on the homepage:

Each website added to the network will be vetted by a person before any links are placed to ensure it meets our strict quality guidelines. Should you wish to use your Vaultage quota to provide text link adverts to a website not in the system, then this website will also need to pass the vetting.

I'm looking around for a site to test this on, but forum feedback has been positive in general - see Sitepoint & SEOGuy.

I highly doubt if link vault will generate much juice, its been years since this post and there's no longer much news about the effectiveness of using it. You're best bet is the new blog linking network service like linkvarna and buildmyranks... etc...
